Part of the difficulty is in respecting the privacy of the children we fostered, as well as that of their families, while at the same time being honest and not sugar-coating. Hopefully, this shines a little light on our experience, and if you'd like to know more, or have any questions about how you could help the fostering community, please reach out. </p><p>Even before we got married, Papi and I talked about the idea of becoming foster parents. The idea of children being apart from their families weighed heavy on our hearts, and we wanted to help in any way we could. As things go, time passes quickly, and life gets busy. God blessed us with 4 amazing children, and our family life was crazy and wonderful. One or the other of us would bring up the idea of fostering every once in awhile, but the timing was never quite right.</p><p>The summer JL turned 4, I read a blog post by a young lady I babysat for when I was in high school and college. It was about how as Christians, our life should be dedicated to God and others, and how that's often not an easy, comfortable way to live, but that it is good. At least, that's how I remember it. Then, about a week later, our church had a guest speaker, and the message was about the same topic - living for God is a grand adventure, and adventure shouldn't always be "comfortable." </p><p>So then I began to think about fostering again, and after praying about it for a week or so, I mentioned it to Papi. He had begun to consider becoming a foster family around the same time. He hadn't read the blog post, and the guest speaker's message didn't affect him the same, but he felt like it was the right time. So we decided to look into it. </p><p>We spoke with my friend C, who not only has fostered and adopted, but also has years of experience working in social services. She said that in our part of the state there were no Spanish speaking foster families. So any kids who came into care, and spoke Spanish, would either be placed in English speaking homes or sent hours away to foster homes in the city. That made Papi and I more determined to become foster parents. The idea of kids being removed from their families (even for very valid reasons) and then placed with strangers who didn't even speak their language, was just appalling. </p><p>The process was intense, time consuming, and stressful. From the first phone call with an agency, to receiving our license, took about 9 months. The training was insufficient, to say the least, and the videos about abuse were traumatic. (I gained 12 lb during that time, mostly from eating peanut M&Ms while watching all the required training videos.)</p><p>Originally, we thought we would foster only infants and toddlers. JL was only 4, and we wanted to stay younger than her. God had other plans though. We did respite care a few times for A, a sweet 1 year old boy, and then one weekend for a 5 year old boy, N. (Respite care is when you watch the child for 2 weeks or less, often when they are between foster homes, or when the foster parents need overnight care for the child. Examples would be a vacation they bought tickets for before the child was placed with them, a wedding that's out of state, attending a training conference, etc.)</p><p>Before N even arrived for the weekend, the social worker called to ask if he could move in with us. We prayed about it, and agreed. Then the social worker decided to let him finish the semester at his school, and he moved in on December 23rd. N stayed with us for 6 months, during which time we had the privilege of coordinating his transition to his adoptive family.</p><p>Those 6 months were amazing and extremely stressful. We had the two weeks of Christmas break to get to know each other, which was perfect. We had so many special moments, and quite a few traumatic ones. The first day at his new school, N didn't come home on the bus. I was so scared, and called the school and the bus company, asking them where my son was. It ends up that he had fallen asleep, and the bus driver brought him home over an hour later, after the route. The evenings after family visits were very rough, as N was so young, and he didn't have the vocabulary or social-emotional skills to deal with the trauma the visits caused him. Other times were just lovely though, with Papi and N cuddled on the sofa reading together; JL and N holding hands in Sunday school; and N looking up to JMC and JT as his new older brothers. I am also incredibly blessed that N's adoptive mom chose to maintain a relationship with me. We have become friends, and she has helped me navigate the world of fostering as well as adoption. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb59a9TNo6nrF1bm1_J3a3LaDey99VvO15YFhtH0BxCjzMiPNa3iMRNWaaU529Bih4wPJjFvWlHZeNjS0eBmj6o244EmHwm1X7aSIFkQOYpcMLf2a0dHvaeVgsLJ1e2IwKSVcwjdyYmVAnsv4VBLM7SLOG7zODVzTqvrLewXBREgR5GMTEuPeTRTu5fA/s1248/image000000.png.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="1080" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb59a9TNo6nrF1bm1_J3a3LaDey99VvO15YFhtH0BxCjzMiPNa3iMRNWaaU529Bih4wPJjFvWlHZeNjS0eBmj6o244EmHwm1X7aSIFkQOYpcMLf2a0dHvaeVgsLJ1e2IwKSVcwjdyYmVAnsv4VBLM7SLOG7zODVzTqvrLewXBREgR5GMTEuPeTRTu5fA/w219-h252/image000000.png.jpg" width="219" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pH1tMsCy7dvjPXTe8DxluY7dGfVRiPnYjQUsLWPUUDSnqHT21CPk2O7_jg-LC3FbQRgEUSRbkVqfjOl1iUGVxkgGKsDAZ2Nnyr0J62SeRE-1Lu_7OLBilHZ0T1JOPync9BS99STqcUZfDQoNg9vtLFJ3tHsF2MF5WZpFyZHsJWqS7ZPMSSS6-hc17g/s2048/image000000%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pH1tMsCy7dvjPXTe8DxluY7dGfVRiPnYjQUsLWPUUDSnqHT21CPk2O7_jg-LC3FbQRgEUSRbkVqfjOl1iUGVxkgGKsDAZ2Nnyr0J62SeRE-1Lu_7OLBilHZ0T1JOPync9BS99STqcUZfDQoNg9vtLFJ3tHsF2MF5WZpFyZHsJWqS7ZPMSSS6-hc17g/w217-h290/image000000%20(1).jpg" width="217" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxKHt4EbNWafn9B2Ocmn5UBZsflRkuXuv0XqC8JRnYRouHSwV4DtXDtZZxR7gPLlLh-ND_DGWYbVJInUZrTb5LV1N2YrfaMPIUZHbIkX9fbvPRpwk6yVCQpiJHukRtz5o_STT1ZJR2BErtga-vUkobnGK0_stwWr2hOoJJM2f0_kCI-1vt_zlyv7gBA/s2048/IMG_20230119_140134.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxKHt4EbNWafn9B2Ocmn5UBZsflRkuXuv0XqC8JRnYRouHSwV4DtXDtZZxR7gPLlLh-ND_DGWYbVJInUZrTb5LV1N2YrfaMPIUZHbIkX9fbvPRpwk6yVCQpiJHukRtz5o_STT1ZJR2BErtga-vUkobnGK0_stwWr2hOoJJM2f0_kCI-1vt_zlyv7gBA/w214-h285/IMG_20230119_140134.jpg" width="214" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWnheiCqGkwQJ5KLqJ4KCtRULB5g8Q9lOQuExGzRUrA_MQRkGmENI-AAoi5D4pdx5POTFRzpetWU77MOMIM809_K-tMP3RSPZhY5Yz6P86UnnbXhJBQXDC0RVIcGkt9s0MSLMq_HVT9DOIpsyt4bRYOWG2Q-FIbcjQNmZxCuu8yRk009h5qlPEOduLA/s2048/IMG_20230119_140348.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFWnheiCqGkwQJ5KLqJ4KCtRULB5g8Q9lOQuExGzRUrA_MQRkGmENI-AAoi5D4pdx5POTFRzpetWU77MOMIM809_K-tMP3RSPZhY5Yz6P86UnnbXhJBQXDC0RVIcGkt9s0MSLMq_HVT9DOIpsyt4bRYOWG2Q-FIbcjQNmZxCuu8yRk009h5qlPEOduLA/w218-h291/IMG_20230119_140348.jpg" width="218" /></a></div><br /></div><p>A few months after N transitioned to his adoptive family, A moved in with her two children, C and K. A was 18, and her children were 23 months and 6 months. They lived with us for 11 months, and that time was challenging in ways I never would have expected. Instead of helping a young mom learn to parent her children, we found that we were parenting a teen girl and co-parenting her children. Again, there were beautiful moments and difficult ones. I am so grateful that we were able to celebrate each of their birthdays, and all of the holidays with them while they were here. In the future, I would love to have more opportunities to help young moms, but not until our own children are grown. I continue to pray for them, that they each know they are valued and loved. </p><p>Two months after they moved out, we received a call asking if we would accept placement of a 3 year old little girl diagnosed with failure to thrive. This is a diagnosis that we'd dealt with before, as each of our kiddos has been small, especially before we learned about our family's food intolerances. Papi agreed, and we accepted placement. </p><p>I'll have to write another post about Little One, as her story with our family continues, and there's too much to fit here. <br /><br />We are no longer a foster family, as we have met the maximum number of children the state allows in a foster home. In addition, we don't want to be in a position of not being able to care for our children in the way we believe is best, and more children would just be too much, with appointments, activities, school, etc. We continue to pray for those involved in foster care in any capapcity - the children, their foster and biological families, and the social workers trying to help all of them. <br /><br />If you have any interest at all in learning how you can support the fostering community, look into <a href="https://theforgotteninitiative.org/">The Forgotten Initiative</a>.

Long post ahead. I found so many parents had forgotten the details of their child having a tonsillectomy, that I decided to record everything.<br />
<br />
JMC has had large tonsils for as long as I can remember. At least, compared to his older siblings' tonsils, they appeared exceptionally large. When he was 3 years old, the pediatrician checked them at our request, and said they are large, but that it isn't a problem unless they get infected or cause sleeping problems.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to this past winter. JMC (along with his siblings) had his first ear infection ever, and shortly after that, he began to snore. A few months later, the snoring got worse, and we also noticed some bouts of sleep apnea. So, off to the doctor again, and this time he was referred to an ENT. (He had a white film on his tonsils, and when the nurse performed the strep check, the giant Q-tip got caught for a second in between his tonsils!)<br />
<br />
The ENT visit was interesting. First, there were a bunch of questions by a nurse. She declared that just by hearing his voice, she could tell he needed to have his tonsils removed. She took a picture of JMC for their files (at first he opened his mouth wide for the picture, thinking she wanted a picture of his tonsils!) Then the physician's assistant came in, gave JMC a check over and said it was definite; he would need tonsils and adenoids out. After his assistant, the doctor came in. He also checked JMC's throat, ears, and lymph nodes in the neck, and said it was certain that the tonsils and adenoids should come out, and sooner than later, since they were causing sleep apnea. (And the white film was actually food particles that were getting trapped there!)<br />
<br />
JMC wanted to ensure that he would be fully recovered before summer was in full swing (mainly, before the pool opens) so we scheduled his surgery for May 11th. They sent us home with a lot of information, including a comic book in the style of the Magic School Bus to explain to JMC exactly what was going to happen during and after surgery. That comic book helped a lot!<br />
<br />
In preparation, we tried to make as many sorbets and dairy free ice creams as possible, in all sorts of flavors - mango, blueberry, strawberry, vanilla. Papi made vanilla pudding, JA made white grape gelatin, and JT made vanilla custard. We also made pear sauce, applesauce, and pureed vegetables (carrot, sweet potato, and butternut squash.) They said it was common for children to lose weight during recovery, and I wanted to do everything possible to prevent that if I could. It ended up that we had over prepared, but there was no way to know that before hand.<br />
<br />
The night before JMC's surgery, we prayed over him as a family. We would be leaving so early in the morning, I wasn't sure if the other kids would be awake, and I knew they wanted the opportunity to pray for him. It was so sweet hearing their concern for their brother, especially from JL, who's only 3 years old. JMC prayed, too, that all would go well, and that it wouldn't hurt too bad. (Grandma blessed us with a visit so she could watch JA, JT, & JL, while Papi & I went with JMC.)<br />

The morning of the surgery, everything went smoothly. We arrived on time, and I was more nervous than JMC. We they called us back to see him in the recovery room, I was shocked to find that he was in pain. I had thought he'd be loopy from pain meds, but instead, he had just received his first dose of medication, and it hadn't kicked in yet. :( He was crying quietly, and looked up at us with the saddest eyes I've ever seen. I crawled into bed with him (partly because there was only 1 chair in the room, and partly so I could hug him and pray over him). This was the most difficult half hour of the entire recovery. He was in pain, and there was nothing I could do to help. I prayed over him, hugged him, and let him squeeze my hand. He drank several small sips of water, and asked for a green popsicle (which he didn't eat) and mostly just cried, until he fell asleep. (I later realized that they need to be sure the child comes out of the anesthesia and is breathing fine before they can give a pain medication. Makes sense. In the moment, though, I just felt awful for my little boy.)<br />

We stayed in the recovery center for 3 hours, due to the extra precautions taken with children after anesthesia. During that time, JMC mostly slept. He woke up several times for quick sips of water, and a few times to use the bathroom (he received 2 bags of IV fluids while there,) but he mostly just slept. Papi left for awhile to drop off the prescription for pain medication, and was back in plenty of time before we were released.<br />

When we got home, JMC went downstairs to watch a movie with his siblings! He ate a fruit puree popsicle, and relaxed. After the movie, we had him go upstairs to take a nap. We had set up a cot in our room for him, and I'm so glad we did. He slept on and off, waking up every 4 hours for his pain medications. He slept an hour past medicine time once and was in nearly as much pain as just after surgery, so we didn't let that happen again. Most nights for the first week, he would wake up on his own when it was time for medicine.<br />

For the first week, JMC didn't talk much at all, and even invented a type of sign language to communicate. He talked the most when playing board games with Papi and JT. :) His favorite drink was apple juice, and he mostly ate dairy free yogurt and vanilla ice cream (an equal mix of homemade and store bought.) <br />

The first 3 or 4 days were about the same, and then things improved, which is when JMC asked to stop the prescription pain medication and stick with over the counter options. Then, there was a dramatic decline on day 7. That is when we had to give the prescription med again at night for 2 nights, and keep up with the over the counter medicine during the day. By day 8 though, he was better, began asking to eat more foods, and began talking again. By day 10 he had stopped all medications completely. JMC kept asking when his 2 week check up would be, and took that appointment as a sign of being completely healed.<br /><br />Each day for the first 6 days or so, JMC received a get well card; from family members, friends, and even the staff at our church. These cards cheered him up, and it encouraged him to know that others were thinking of and praying for him while he recovered.<br /><br />

We recently had the 2 week check up, and everything was great. The doctor did say JMC would probably have pain when coughing for up to another month or so, so we need to try and keep him healthy (makes me thankful we did this is the spring, rather than the winter!) His sleep apnea has improved, and snoring has basically stopped. The snoring did take awhile to go away, simply because he was swollen for the first week or so. Now that the doctor has given the all-clear, JMC has returned to his room, and is back to his cheerful, talkative, playful, self. :)<br />

He's grown up and matured so much, I'm not taken by surprise at all. At the same time, though, time is just flying by.<br />
<br />
What does a 10 year old boy want for his birthday? Birthday pancakes, pizza (not a common thing when you're gluten and dairy free), and spaghetti. He thought he wouldn't get a cake since he'll have one at his party, so he asked for cookies. I made him root beer flavored cupcakes as a surprise. ☺<br />
<br />
The kids were excited to choose gifts, and it was so neat to hear their thoughts on what he would like.<br />
<br />
Apart from the food, JT also requested a family game day. So we played a couple board games, a game of kickball with the new bases JMC gifted him, and a bunch of Mario kart on the Wii. JT also went to his viola class, and requested a last minute trip to the library. 😀 What a fun, yet low-key day!<br />

Their first idea was to install a DVD player in our minivan. Well, after a few phone calls, we discovered that the cost would be more than $2,000, much more than their combined Christmas money, even if Juan & I matched their contribution. And, the kids agreed that having a DVD player in the van wasn't worth that much anyway.<br />
<br />
The next idea was to stay at Grand Bear Lodge in Utica, IL. Some friends had invited us to stay with them in the spring, and we all had a great time. Well, their money would get us 1 night in a regular hotel room, with 1 day at the indoor water park. With our friends, we had stayed in a vacation villa, and enjoyed the water park and adventure center, so the comparison wasn't good enough for the kids.<br />

Papi and I were proud (and a bit surprised) at the kids' desire to wait for the right opportunity to spend their money. There were a few times throughout the year that one or another would consider pulling their portion for a more immediate purchase, but they ended up being patient and waiting.<br />
<br />
This fall, I saw a post in one of the local home school groups on FB that someone had a timeshare at Wisconsin Dell's to rent out. The cost was just less than our children's saved Christmas money. So, first Papi checked to see if he could get the time off work. Once his time off was confirmed, we checked, and the timeshare was still available. So, then we talked with the kids. They all agreed that a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, apartment, with a kitchen and living room, plus 3 indoor water parks, for 4 days/3 nights was definitely worth their Christmas money. So, nearly a full year after they received these gifts of money, we enjoyed a wonderful family vacation.<br />
<br />
Of course, there were a few hiccups along the way, just to make things interesting. JL got pink eye the weekend before our trip. Took her in to the pediatrician Monday morning while Papi packed the van, and the doctor said she not only had double pink eye (an uncommon, though not concerning version of it, at that) but she also had a double ear infection. So, our trip was delayed a bit for her appointment and while we waited for her medications. (The doctor did say she was free to go swimming.) While JL got better throughout our trip, JA got sick. She first got the ear infection, and the day we headed home, got the pink eye, too.<br />
<br />
Another funny story is how we set off the smoke alarm while making dinner. I deglazed a pan with broth, and the steam that rose up set off the alarm. The front desk called to see if we were okay, and while Papi talked to them and followed their instructions (turn on stove vent, open all windows) I debated evacuating the kids and checked to see if the alarm was going off in the hallway. I didn't know at first that the steam caused the alarm to go off because it wasn't an immediate reaction. The alarm was only going off in our little apartment, and no one was evacuating. After a few minutes the alarm stopped and all was well.<br />
<br />
The first day we went to both nearby water parks (less than a 10 minute walk, indoors the whole time) in the morning and again in the evening, with lunch, naps, and dinner in between. During nap time, JT and Papi played Bingo in the lobby, and JT won a gift card for the arcade, which he shared with the family. One water park has a wave pool and a young child area. The other has water slides, a lazy river, a small young child area, and a hot tub.<br />

The second day, we went to the 3rd water park, which we could access via a free shuttle service. It was about a 10 minute drive. We made sure to bring a change of clothes, because the temperature was about 20, and that's a bit cold for being outside after swimming. Even so, it was after this that JA's ears began to hurt. :(<br />

<br />
This year, JA had a complete menu planned for the day, and it wasn't until the night before that she had any ideas of activities, her thoughts had been centered on the yummy food she wanted. :) So, we had birthday pancakes, atole de elote, Red Robin for lunch, shrimp scampi for dinner, and pumpkin pie for dessert. For fun, we went to a local nature preserve, and Grandma, JA, and I went for pedicures. All in all, a great day!<br />

For 10 weeks, he met each week with the whole orchestra (all beginners in 3rd or 4th grades) and also in a small group of just viola students. The classes are led by a university professor and university students studied to become music teachers. Last night, they had their first concert. Here are a few of their songs:<br /><br /><br />

This summer, the boys participated in swim team for the first time. JMC was invited to join the team by his swimming teacher, and JT asked to join the team with his brother. At the beginning of the summer, they had each had 2 semesters of lessons, and though comfortable in the water, neither one could actually swim.<br />
<br />
By the end of the first week, JT could swim the backstroke an entire length of the pool (25 yards)! It took JMC several more weeks, and he still prefers lessons and practices (when his teacher is in the water with him) to meets when he is on his own. By the end of the season (after about 6 weeks) JT could swim freestyle, backstroke, and breast stroke; JMC could swim freestyle about 15 yards.<br />
<br />
Swim lessons begin up again this week, and I'm excited to see how much they'll continue to improve. JA takes swim lessons, too, and we hope that she'll be able to join the swim team next summer as well.<br />

Update: JA, JT, & JMC all participated in swim lessons this fall, and the most improved was JA! She is now excited to try swim team next summer. Lessons begin again in February, and I'm sure they will all continue to improve. :)<br />

It took about 6 months of looking into things, but we got the go ahead in March of this year. We began looking at houses, and also began to prepare the mobile home for sale.<br />
<br />
Papi put in new floors in the kitchen, both bathrooms, and the laundry room. He also replaced the kitchen faucet, and the insulation under the girls' room (thanks to a smelly raccoon family who had moved in!) Before we even put up the for sale sign, we had some interest, just through word of mouth in the neighborhood. Then, we put the sign up, and had received a few different offers, though not all at the same time. Just as one offer would fall through, another would come up. A contract was signed the end of May, the night before I left for the annual Lilla Rose convention.<br />
<br />
When we began looking at houses in March, the very first house we walked into was a definite possibility. This was in March, though, and our mobile home hadn't sold yet, so we were not in a position to make an offer on it. We just kept looking at houses, two or three every few weeks, and waiting for our house to sell. We did visit that first house again, after we had seen about 10-15 others, to see if it was still our favorite. In mid-May, the house was taken off the market. I was a little disappointed, but knew God would have the right house for us when the timing was right. Our realtor looked into things and said the house was still for sale, just temporarily off the market. So, once our house sold, we made an off on that first house. It was accepted that same night(!) though it took over 2 weeks to get the purchase agreement signed and official.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">We knew going in that that house was being sold "as is" and that there would be some work required before moving in, as well as for a few years to come. We were able to inspect the house (well, Juan & his friend J inspected the house, even the attic(!), I walked around and reminded myself of the layout and room sizes, since it had been 2 months since we'd last been inside.) That inspection relieved some concerns, especially in regards to having to gut the bathroom; it needed a very thorough cleaning, and some new fixtures, but we'd most likely be able to put off a complete bathroom remodel. This was great news.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">In July, we were notified that we could move in 2 weeks before the closing, which gave us 1 week to work on the house before we had to be out of the mobile home. This also saved us the hassle of moving to a rental home for one week and putting everything in storage. That week working on the house was amazing! So many people came over and helped with a million different tasks; cleaning the bathroom, painting the paneling, removing wallpaper, pulling out shrubs, removing a raised flower garden that was improperly placed, cutting down tree/weeds, and much more. Other friends watched our kids during the day so I could get work done at the house. </span><br />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">The downside to all of this is that had been the week set aside for packing, so when moving day came, the mobile home wasn't ready. No worries though. While some people were moving the furniture, others stayed back to pack the kids' rooms, the kitchen, and even the master bedroom. What a blessing that was! I was at the new house directing traffic, and Papi was at the mobile home directing things there. The deadline to be out of the mobile home was 4pm Monday, and we did it, just barely. </span><br />

There is still so much to do at the new house. 7-10 years' worth of yard work that we still haven't caught up on and quite a bit of interior work to be done, in addition to finishing the wonderful task of unpacking. The important things are done though. Carpets have been cleaned, and we can change the flooring in a few years; walls have been wiped down (previous residents were heavy smokers) and the rooms are slowly getting painted; all the appliances have been replaced (a true necessity in this scenario); and most of my books have been unpacked. :)<br />
<br />
We have big plans for this home, and would love to stay here for quite some time. We'll do a little each year, and as needs arise. As far as our plans to stay here, those are just our plans; we'll have to see what God has in store for our family. Whatever His plans are, they will be good.<br />

It takes a bit of study to fully comprehend, but it is also VERY forgiving, so you can get started right away while you learn the finer details. The best part? - the only essential item is the plan book, and you can get that at the library! Everything else is just extra, and not required at all. No supplements, special ingredients, or anything else. Those things are available, of course, but they are not required to be completely successful.<br /><br />This is where most blogs would insert a disclosure that any links are their affiliate links & they make money if you click them. Well, not here. I'm sharing because I love this way of eating, and I get absolutely nothing out of it, other than knowing more people are eating yummy foods while becoming healthier. :) Besides, I don't post regularly enough, nor consider myself enough of an expert, to make it worth having an affiliate link. There are some bloggers who do an amazing job explaining the plan and creating new recipes, so their time and effort are truly worthy of having an affiliate link.<br /><br />I could give a quick intro to Trim Healthy Mama (THM) here, but there are so many blogs that have done an excellent job already. So, check out <a href="http://gwens-nest.com/" target="_blank">Gwen's Nest</a> for her <a href="http://gwens-nest.com/trim-healthy-mama-quick-start-guide-new/" target="_blank">Quick Start Guide,</a> and then play around on Pinterest to see sample recipes and find links for other bloggers' "cliff notes." To get all of the details & the reasoning behind the plan, you really need to read the plan book, but this will give you a good start. If you'd like, you can check out <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jlpherrarte/trim-healthy-mama/" target="_blank">my THM board on Pinterest</a>, too. :) (Two other THM bloggers I really like are <a href="http://www.briana-thomas.com/" target="_blank">Briana Thomas</a> & <a href="http://www.mrscriddleskitchen.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. Criddle's Kitchen</a>.)<br /><br />Papi is an amazing cook, and he also happens to like a challenge. When I was following an elimination diet to try and figure out JL's allergies a few years ago, he made me the most amazing meals, even when I was down to only 6 ingredients for the first 2-3 weeks. Now, with THM, he's still able to invent the most amazing meals, all while staying on plan. (Most of the time. Like I said earlier, THM offers a lot of grace as opposed to strictness, so we do eat off plan sometimes.)<br /><br />OK, back to the recipe. Papi created this last night, and everyone just absolutely loved it. We're talking seconds and thirds for everyone except the 3 year old. It was that good. Please note, Papi doesn't measure, so most measurements are approximate, and if no measurement is listed, go by taste or appearance. :)<br /><br />This is a "E" meal for Trim Healthy Mama, which means it has protein and healthy carbs, and very little fat. I try to eat an E meal about 5 times each week, but there is not hard and fast rule about it, just try to find the right balance for you. (Read more about the different meal types in the Plan Book.)<br /><br />Swedish Meatballs<br />serves 6-8<br /><br />Meatballs:<br />3 lb ground turkey (very lean)<br />Italian Seasoning<br />Minced Onion<br />Garlic Powder<br />Black Pepper<br />2 T cold coffee<br />Salt<br />3 T THM Baking Blend (I make my own from the various recipes on Pinterest, or you can buy some from the THM online store. Just be sure to use a FP version (very low carbs and very low fat)<br /><br />Combine well, form into Tablespoon-sized meatballs, and brown a few at a time in a skillet sprayed lightly with coconut oil spray. Then bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes to cook through.<br /><br />Gravy:<br />2 cups chicken or turkey stock<br />2 stalks celery, chopped fine<br />1 small onion, chopped fine<br />1 tsp. xanthan gum (or gluccomannan)<br />1/2-1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk<br /><br />Boil stock to reduce by half (approximately 1 cup). Add celery and onion to the skillet the meatballs were browned in. Deglaze for a minute, then add the reduced broth. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Blend (using a stick blender) with the xanthan gum. Return to low heat and stir in milk to desired consistency.<br /><br />Noodles:<br />1.5-2 lb dry noodles (brown rice, corn flour, or "Dreamfields" pasta)<br /><br />Boil pasta as normal. If using brown rice or corn flour pasta, be sure to rinse slightly with cool water to prevent stickiness.<br /><br />Serve all together, spaghetti and meatballs style. :)<br /><br />Sorry I don't have any pictures, we ate it all too fast, but I'll be sure to update with pictures the next time Papi makes it.

Well, the summer got the best of me (moving across town to a fixer upper didn't help, but more about that later!) and I'm just now posting about our 3rd June birthday. :)<br /><br />JMC turned 6 this year, and he began planning out his day well in advance. Of course there are 2 important things to consider when planning your special day: the food, and the fun. So, birthday pancakes for breakfast, pizza at Monical's for lunch (the kids all had reading program coupons, and JMC thinks it's just the best that they earn them in time for his birthday each year), and oatmeal for dinner. Pizza and oatmeal are his favorite meals.<br /><br />For fun, he wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese, and to play miniature golf. The weather cooperated, and we were able to do it all. Yay!<br /><br />Here are some of the highlights (or better known as, Mami remembered to take some pictures.)</div>

She's been counting down for at least a week, and anxiously awaiting her birthday since JT's birthday in April!<br /><br />For her birthday, we had samoa donuts (caramel & coconut) for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and birthday pancakes for dinner. She brought birthday napkins to Sunday School for her friends to use at snack time. There was even a mango filled birthday cake in the afternoon. Grandma and Grandpa joined us for the day, and after they left, we spent an hour at the pool. What a fun-filled day!<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It's been a beautiful day today. Not too hot in the morning, and a nice relaxing day for the family during the heat of the afternoon. I made a yummy coffee cake for breakfast, but it wasn't ready when we had to get out the door for church, so we ate it for afternoon snack instead. JT said he thought it was just okay, and then he did eat 2 full pieces. :) Everyone else enjoyed it, too. Papi's making dinner, and the kids are watching a movie. I'm here, thinking of you, and wishing you were here to enjoy my family and celebrate with us.<br /><br />We used to enjoy sharing our birthday month, didn't we? I had forgotten about that. When JMC was born early, and I suddenly shared by special month, after years of having it all to myself, I was just a bit disappointed. And then, God sent us JL, just 3 days after my birthday, and I was let down a bit more. But today, I remember sharing the month of June with you, and I am grateful to share my month with 2 of my children now. It's been fun planning with them, choosing what we'll do on who's birthday, spreading the celebration throughout the second half of the month. Making sure to include all of our favorite activities and meals, without taking away from anyone's special day.<br /><br />Leading up to today, I kept thinking that I had plans for the 12th. Then, I'd check the calendar and it was empty. Strange. Why did I think I had plans? Oh, yeah, because for the first 18 years of my life, I did have plans on June 12th. If we didn't get together, we at least talked on the phone. It wasn't just some other day, but the birthday of one of my most favorite people. Even though I don't get to see you today, nor talk to you on the phone, I still remember and celebrate your birthday on the 12th.<br /><br />You would love my family, and they would love you, too. I talk to them about you. Did you know that? I tell them how special you were to me, and I pray that they have someone in their life they can always trust, always turn to. Part of me wishes to be that for them, but I also know there comes a time in adolescence that trusting the parents completely becomes a bit of a stretch. When and if that happens, I pray each one has someone like you.<br /><br />How did you ever manage to write to me every.single.week. while I was at Dordt? Those letters were so meaningful to me, at a time I felt out of place. I got the last one after returning to school from your funeral. I still have that letter in my drawer. Anyway, I tried to write regularly to my nieces this past year. One went to college, and the other joined the military. I knew they were each going to have to adjust, and may have times of feeling out of place. I tried to write to them, to encourage them, but I didn't manage it nearly as well, nor as often, as you did for me. It's a result of my phase of life, I suppose, but I was disappointed in myself for it. I'll try again this fall, with about the same lackluster rate of success, but maybe trying despite failure is part of the blessing.<br /><br />How old would you be this year? It's been bugging me that I can't remember. I'm going to be 38 this week. Can you imagine?! The last birthday you celebrated with me, I turned 18. You gave me bath towels to take to school with me; white towels so I could bleach them and keep them looking new. :)<br /><br />We didn't have birthday cake, nor sing "Happy Birthday," but I celebrated you today. I remembered so many special memories: going to the mall together, watching the deer out your window, roasting marshmallows in the fireplace, joking about bra sizes. Thank you. And, happy birthday!Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559593255062252774noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329973560749918877.post-42634512262933161462016-06-06T22:17:00.000-05:002016-06-06T22:17:03.355-05:00Creation to the Greeks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the 2015-2016 school year, we studied history from Creation to Ancient Greece. JMC & JL even joined us for most of the science experiments and some of the art projects. Music appreciation was normally during lunch, and now JL has a particular fondness for Vivaldi & Bach, though she never quite took to Handel. :)<br /><br />Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the year.</div>

<br />Next year we will continue with history in chronological order, studying Ancient Rome through the Reformation. The science book we used this year was amazing, so we'll be continuing with the next in the series, which teaches scientific concepts in the order they were discovered, along with biographies of the scientists of the time. So fun!<br />Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559593255062252774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329973560749918877.post-42011291380919338522016-05-23T21:47:00.001-05:002016-05-23T21:47:18.229-05:00Radio Station & Zoo Field Trip<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="text-align: start;">I kept JL on my back for the first 2/3 of the field trip because I wasn't sure how'd she do with all of the equipment there. After awhile I let her down, and she did fine. One funny thing, though, is that a man introduced himself to me, and then said, with a very concerned tone of voice, "Mam, there's a baby growing out of your back!" I pretended to be shocked and asked if that's where babies normally grow. :) The kids thought this was so funny.<br /><br />The first room is where the live portions of the radio are done. The room was available for us that morning because the host prerecorded her time in anticipation of our visit. I thought that was incredibly kind of her. We learned a bit about the radio and also that all phone calls are recorded and played later; phone calls are never put on the radio live. The moms understood this, of course, but the kids found this quite new and interesting to think about.</span></div>

The next room is where they make announcements and promotions. The kids were all asked to say "Happy Mother's Day!" into the microphone, but only the girls agreed to do it. Then, the moms were called up, and we were asked about what we love about being a mom, about our kids, and why we like the radio station. I babbled on, like I do, and when I turned around, my friend was teary. I guess I said something meaningful. :) I never heard any of us played on the radio, but I don't listen to it all day, so it's possible.</div>

On Saturday, Grandma & Grandpa surprised us with a visit for the day, we had spaghetti for lunch (one of JT's favorite meals), and then enjoyed an afternoon of JT & JMC's soccer games (and Mami got her first good sunburn of the season.)<br /><br />This morning we enjoyed chocolate-covered donuts for breakfast while Papi set up the sound system for church. After church, we played at a park, went to Chuck E Cheese, had our traditional birthday pancakes for lunch, and personal pizzas for dinner. JA chose some thoughtful gifts for JT, and he also enjoyed opening many birthday cards, a new Italy soccer jersey, a new swim shirt, & a new game for his DS. Papi & JT went to the video game store during nap time and bought a new Wii game. We played outside before dinner, including a game of one-on-one for Papi and JT. After dinner, the S family came over for birthday cake, and we surprised JT with trick candles that kept relighting. Overall, it was a great weekend.<br />

Plus, plenty of time for games, food, shopping, reading, and talks. The adults even went out to dinner without kids, thanks to 2 awesome nieces who tackled dinner & bedtime with our 4 blessings!<br />
<br />
We got to see coffee roasting at the coffee shop, and JMC enjoyed helping with that so much that he now wants to learn all about coffee before becoming a fireman. (And he's made coffee several times since we've been home.)<br />

We had a wonderful Nochebuena with Papi's sisters and their families, and the Q family. JT & JA sang in church, and then we all had a great time snacking, eating tamales, joking, chatting, and of course exchanging gifts. Everyone partipated in the white elephant gift exchange this year, and it did not disappoint. There was a perfect mix of desired gifts and gag gifts, and plenty of goofiness as well.<br />
<br />
Christmas day was much calmer; we enjoyed spending the day with Grandma & Grandpa, and Mami's aunt, uncle, & cousins.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />

So, highlights from 1st semester:<br />
<br />
This year, JMC is in Kinder! He's doing great learning to read and write, though his favorite subject is math. He has all of the letter sounds and syllables, and knows between 25-30 sight words. He really wants to learn to read because he sees how much JA & JT enjoy reading. (They read for a couple hours every day!)<br />
<br />
JT is in 3rd, and JA is in 5th(!). We are studying creation through the ancient Greeks for history, and thoroughly enjoying it. We all love history. This year's science is our favorite so far, as each lesson begins with an experiment (that is actually manageable & with items I have on hand.) :)<br />
<br />
We are in a homeschool group with 50 families. The older 3 kids also attend a pe & swimming class at the YMCA. JT & JA participate in children's choir at church, and JA is also in an additional choir for homeschooled students. We tend to stay fairly busy. :)<br />

The kids & I enjoyed preparing things several days (and at least 1 gift nearly a month) in advance.

What fun it was to surprise him when we came home for lunch! :)<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

JT has been waiting to be baptized for well over a year. We wanted to be sure he understood the decision he was making, and that he was able to articulate his thoughts about it. So very proud of Papi & JT for choosing to live for Christ, and for making public their decision through baptism.<br /><br />After the baptisms, most everyone jumped in the lake and played for about another 45 minutes or so. The water was fairly cold, so some chose to play in the sand, and some enjoyed playing in the waist-deep (for some) water. :)</div>

<br />Once we got home, JL, JMC, & I took naps, and Papi, JA, & JT went fishing. They stayed out until 6:30, but came home with dinner! We were all excited to eat the delicious fresh fish they caught, and no one complained at all about a late dinner, it was just so delicious!<br /><br /><br />Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559593255062252774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329973560749918877.post-8194870974363641412015-06-20T22:39:00.003-05:002015-06-20T22:39:54.410-05:00My baby is 2!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

JL turned 2 this week! I can't even believe it. She's potty training (and does pretty well when we're at home) and talking up a storm. She loves to read & be read to, and sings throughout the day. Her favorite drink is almond or coconut milk, and her favorite food is meat.<br />
<br />
JA & JT really got into the celebration for JL. They decided to go in together on a gift, and found a baby doll that is just perfect. We ended up getting most of her gifts centered around the baby doll - a doll stroller and doll sippy cups from Papi & I, and a pet doggy for the doll from JA, as well as a "Baa Baa Black Sheep" from Papi & I for her favorite nursery rhyme. JL was absolutely in love!<br />
<br />
Throughout the day, every time we would say "Feliz cumpleanos," JL would respond, "a ti!" It was so cute. We tried saying, "Happy birthday to JL" but she she still didn't quite grasp that it was her day. :)</div>

<br />Well, I was all set to bake a cake, but our oven is being temperamental this summer. It is summer, so it's really not a big deal, except when it comes to birthday cake baking. :) Anyway, when you are gluten & dairy free, you can't just run to WalMart and pick up a cake from the bakery. So, we went to our local gluten free bakery, and Papi chose some yummy treats for us. Pumpkin donuts, turtle cheesecake, and apple fritter cake. JT chose to have some of the cherry vanilla coconut milk ice cream that Papi made the other day. As you can see, JL really enjoyed us singing to her. :)<br /><br />

Papi & the kids treated me to a wonderfully fun birthday, full of surprises, family time, and yummy food! We went to a botanical garden and local history museum. Then, Papi made my favorite birthday dessert - strawberry shortcake. Here are the highlights.</div>

<br />The pictures don't show the fun Papi and the kids had fishing at 5:30 in the morning, the craziness of 11 kids roasting marshmallows around 1 campfire, or the relaxing time the adults had chatting under the stars after the kids were asleep. Nor do they show how everyone came together to pack up our tent and the S family's tent in under 45 minutes when we realized a storm was on it's way, finishing up in a complete downpour. It was such a good time, and we are already looking forward to next year!<br />Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559593255062252774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7329973560749918877.post-71720588395551708862015-04-25T18:24:00.002-05:002015-04-25T18:24:23.395-05:00Wildlife Prairie Park<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had never been to the Wildlife Prairie Park, so when a friend invited us to go along with their home school group, I eagerly accepted the invitation. It is only about an hour away, but we still just hadn't made it there before. We ended up knowing 3 of the families in the group, met several more, and had a wonderful time. We all agreed that we should go again, and bring Papi with us next time. :)</div>
